This beautiful mid-century modern ball clock is one of the most important pieces designed by George Nelson. The popular story goes that the Nelson Ball Clock was actually designed by Buckminster Fuller, Isamu Noguchi, Irving Harper and George Nelson during a night of drinking in 1947. However, Irving Harper later claimed it was his design alone. The dispute over creditation may be because George Nelson preferred pieces to be known under the company name, but in any case, the Nelson Ball Clock was part of a company-wide drive to reinterpret household items, and bring modern design straight into American homes, when the American Dream was at its peak. This re-edition by Vitra is true to the original, with identical dimensions, finish and color.
